I am looking for tips for things you didn't do until recently that changed your cooking

Some of my faves atm are

II microwave small potatoes that I've hassle backed for about 10 mins then I put them into a baking tray with oil and seasoning of my choice, I paint them with a silicone brush it really gets in there it's changed our potato love in this house and then into oven for around 40 mins it's like having par boiled potato but less mess before roasting, can also squash them when cooked in microwave instead of cutting them into a hassle back

Also I make fajitas but now I put them into a baking dish put some salsa and cheese and herbs into them kind of in a taco shape with all the fillings into each one and then I put that in the oven for about 15 mins and it's so so much tastier then normal fajitas, also stops my kids from making such a mess!

Any tricks I can steal?

When I make shepherds pie or fish pie, I lay the frozen pellets of mash directly on top and bake in the oven as normal. I never ever make mash

I do this too - saves lots of time, just fork over at the end. I checked the ingredients of frozen mash and it's really only potato, nothing bad added to it!

Thanks for all the other tips too
